You are confused. You are very right, the average guy or child hasn't got a clue what fps or even resolution is. All that is truly just forum talk. But that average person doesn't have to know anything about all that to know that street fighter 2 doesn't look as good as street fighter 4. Or is that a moot point? An you can't dismiss a point by just ignoring its facts. Minecraft has sold a shit ton of copies. No argument there. But you didn't answer the question. If there were two versions of minecraft, both cost the exact same amount. One of them looked like crysis 3 and the other looked like minecraft looks now. Both games were content and performance ideantical and ran on the same platform. Which do you think will sell more? Your point is that graphics doesn't matter right? If the answer to the above question is the worse looking version will sell well or just as much as the version that looks like crysis 3, then you would be right and I would concede defeat. Its a simple question really. My answer to the above question is that the worse looking version of the game will not sell a single copy. Unless of course the person buying it doesn't know there is a better looking version of the exact same game out there for the exact same price. And this is simply cause one version looks better than the other. nothing more. So whats your answer to that question? |
You're asking me to answer a hypothetical question that can't have a factual answer. The facts are, and my point is, that the number one factor in whether the majority of people enjoy or purchase a game is the game itself and not how many FPS it has or it's graphical merits.
That's ultimately all that matters to the majority of consumers.
